Louisiana GOP Chief Just Responded To Trump’s Lawsuit Threat… This Will Be NASTY

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have recently been sparring over the delegate allotment from the Louisiana primary. Even though Trump won the contest by 4 points, Cruz could end up receiving more delegates than Trump.

This is due to the fact that these delegates are “unbound,” meaning that they initially were for another candidates (such as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio), but now are essentially free agents because their candidate dropped out.

The Times-Picayune reported that Trump has threatened to sue over these delegates, and the executive director of Louisiana’s Republican Party essentially told Trump to bring it on.

“I’m really confident in the rules” said Jason Doré. “(We) are taking it seriously and will be prepared.”

Cruz and Trump both won 18 delegates from the primary, and Doré says that he doesn’t know where the allegations of Cruz receiving more delegates are coming from, but that they are false.

“There’s no commitments from any of these delegates — the Rubio delegates or the others — that they’re going to go for Cruz or for Trump,” Doré said.

Doré himself is an unbound delegate, but he has stated that he will remain neutral until the convention, which is the smart thing to do. There are still many primaries to go before the convention, and anything could happen.

“(Cruz’s) not going to receive any more delegates,” he stated. “(Trump) received the delegates he was supposed to. Everybody’s been allocated what they’re going to be allocated.”

There are several other states where uncommitted delegates could play a decisive factor in the convention. Some of these delegates are bound to their candidates, regardless of whether they are in the race, but some are not.

Doré also stated that Trump’s tweet regarding suing was “unclear” who it was targeted at.
